According to the university, the library opened later because personal property left during
the evacuation had to be collected. It will be gathered up and placed at the west security
desk and may be picked during regular library hours.

Any personal items left in McPherson, Smith or Scott may be retrieved at Blankenship Hall,
located at 901 Woody Hayes Drive, between 8-11 a.m. and from noon to 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

"The university puts the highest priority on the safety of our students, faculty and staff,"
said Vernon Baisden, assistant vice president and director of public safety. "Throughout the day
our public safety forces have meticulously checked the affected buildings to insure that our
students continue to have a safe learning environment."

The anonymous threat was sent to the FBI's Washington Bureau, and agents there notified
authorities in Columbus, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.

The threat said there were several explosive devices inside the library, along with McPherson,
Scott and Smith laboratories, Baisden said.

In response to the threat, police used the Buckeye Alert system to send more than 30,000 text
messages, telling students and staff to stay away from the buildings and surrounding areas.

Video from Chopper 10 showed police taping off areas outside of the library. Officers with
dogs were also in the area. Some officers were seen peering into the windows of parked
vehicles.

Federal officials' review of the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old black man by a white police officer as he carried an air rifle in an Ohio Wal-Mart remains unfinished as his relatives plan a rally and vigil to mark one year since his death. Get the story.
